Spring Wedding in Downtown Monroe | Wayfarer Hotel


Josh and Laura's wedding was one I will remember forever. They chose the sweet location of Monroe, Georgia that I am personally very fond of. The Wayfarer Hotel sits in the middle of the bustle of downtown Monroe gives way to a private location for a family to stay before the wedding. The Sparrow Grove Manor just down the way, is another great location for not only a wedding, but for you guests to stay. The Wayfarer Hotel makes the perfect getting ready location for the Bride and Groom. The perfect mix of bright and airy, with vintage aspects.

There ceremony space, while on the smaller side if choosing this venue, is gorgeous and perfect for an intimate, evening wedding. The greenery that traces the brick is so romantic and makes for a romantic scene for the ceremony and afterwards for portraits. When choosing this venue, the chair set up for ceremony gets moved into the music hall space for reception. Josh and Laura's ceremony had all the elements: spiritual, sweet, funny and emotional.

Josh and Laura chose to give each other gifts before the First Look. Both of them gave each other a beautiful bible. How sweet is that? Giving a note, or a gift after finishing your getting ready portraits is such a beautiful, simple way to add to your day. Laura and Josh also chose a First Look for their timeline, which is also a wonderful way to add to your day. I will never get over being a part of these special moments.

The reception, located in the Music Hall of the Wayfarer Hotel area hosted beautiful family images, engagement photos, photobooth and last, but not least - the gender reveal cake. Everyone's long waiting until the time to cut cake. This was even a surprise for Laura and Josh. I am sure waiting was the most difficult for them, but it was absolutely worth it. It was such a beautiful moment for the two of them and their close family and friends.
